I recently bought a Ladies Cote d'Azur Quartz watch on a cruise ship, the Eurodam. I spent $12.00 Cdn. to get three links taken out of the bracelet and the jeweller set it to local time. Now the watch is not working and the stem will not retract. What can I do. It is a pink faced silver ladies watch.

I agree. I just got 7 of these from a cruise ship with $99 labels on them, for the "sale price" for a limited - one time BIG DEAL - cut and bruise, scratch and gouge time with other bargain seekers! They did not offer any fitting services and the links are impossible to punch out!!!! I will have to take all 7 to a jewelers and HOPE they can do it. It certainly is a scam. These look cool - but quality is not there and I fear the finishes will deteriorate if worn much - very quickly. Perhaps we should have stuck with the $10 watches at bargain stores... I agree.

I agree wholeheartedly! These watches are a classic case of misrepresentation by the Indian sellers. This illegal practice is clearly sanctioned by the Eurodam. I am no longer keen to cruise with the Eurodam. I liked their Indonesian waiters; but the way that cruise ship ihas dealt with my complaint about these watches sucks bigtime! I agree wholeheartedly!
